MicroRNAs involved in the browning process of adipocytes
Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015The present review focuses on the role of miRNAs in the control of white adipose tissue browning, a process which describes the recruitment of adipocytes showing features of brown adipocytes in white adipose tissue. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNAs (19-22 nucleotides) involved in gene regulation.

To treat obesity, suppression of white adipose tissue (WAT) expansion and activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) are considered as potential therapeutic targets. Recent advances have been made in the induction of brown fat-like adipocytes (beige) in WAT, which represents an attractive potential strategy for the management and treatment of obesity ...

Genetic Studies of Brown Adipocyte Induction
The Journal of Nutrition, 2000We seek to discover an effective method for utilizing thermogenesis to reduce the caloric load in obese individuals. Experimental evidence indicates that nonshivering thermogenesis is the most effective cellular and biochemical mechanism known for reducing excessive adiposity. In this presentation, we describe our experiments aimed at understanding how

Succinate Oxidation in Hamster Brown Adipocytes
1978In a suspension of isolated hamster brown adipocytes succinate can be oxidized at a high rate. This oxidation capacity is found to be mainly extracellular and can be totally blocked by the SH-reagent DTNB. In the intact cell succinate is found to be oxidized very slow probably as a function of a low transport rate over the membrane(s).

Direct action of capsaicin in brown adipogenesis and activation of brown adipocytes
Cell Biochemistry and Function, 2016The ingestion of capsaicin, the principle pungent component of red and chili peppers, induces thermogenesis, in part, through the activation of brown adipocytes expressing genes related to mitochondrial biogenesis and uncoupling such as peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (Ppar) γ coactivator‐1α (Pgc‐1α) and uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1 ...

Functional differentiation of white and brown adipocytes
BioEssays, 1997AbstractAdipose tissue plays an important role in mammalian energy equilibrium not only as a lipid‐dissipating, i.e. energy‐storing, tissue (white adipose tissue), but also as an energy‐dissipating one (brown adipose tissue). Brown adipocytes have the ability of facultative heat production due to a unique mitochondrial protein, the uncoupling protein ...

White adipocytes transdifferentiation into brown adipocytes induced by triiodothyronine
2008The uncontrolled expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT) seen in obesity predisposes affected individuals to health complications. Another type of fat, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has an opposing physiological function because it allows dissipation instead of storage of energy.
